    Edward Gorey really loved cats.
    It is so nice to see one in his interview.

    Considering his writing, it's no wonder he owned the most Gorey-esque cat imaginable.

    He's a very intriguing character, this gentleman. I used to love his books when I was younger too.

    Totally lost the staring contest with the cat.

    I am sorry to say that Jane the Cat has passed away. I learned about it in Edward Gorey's newsletter.

    The cat doesn't care he is being interviewed he's all like "whatevs I got cat shit to do".

    This sequence is wonderfully engaging. The sort of man one could have talked to for hours and the cat's expression, full of doubt, is a perfect counterpoint. Would like to see the whole film. I was lucky enough to see Terence Stamp play Dracula on the Gorey set in London in the 70s and still remember it well. So glad you captured Gorey on film.

    Right at the beginning is when that cat is dialed in---very, very, intense. Like you DO NOT want to f with this ....you hear?

    This was interesting, I always imagined he would sound more like Christopher Lee.

    @GuillermoNicris That's wonderful news! I'm a big fan of both directors, so I'll have to look into it. I've been trying to watch all of Ingmar Bergman's earlier films lately, which has been a thoroughly enjoyable mission, to say the least. Thank you for such courtesy!

    @curtisrunstedler I have, and it's one of my favorites. It has sort of a Steven Soderberg meets Stanley Kubrick meets Hitchcock's "Spellbound" feel to it. The "western modern" building mentioned by Gorey is in fact the old city council building in the middle of downtown Phoenix AZ. The directors, Scott McGhee and David Siegel, also made the excellent 2001 film "The Deep End" starring Tilda Swinton, which is much easier to find on DVD.

    If all the footage is out of focus we'll never see the doc

    • @ChristopherSeufert17
      @ChristopherSeufert17  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In what way would you say focus in this clip, which was uploaded 12 years ago with an old compression formula is related to the release of the documentary?

    He seems very effeminate, was he gay? Perhaps its just the lilt in his voice. I love him.

    • @rabokarabekian409
      @rabokarabekian409 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      He invented the A in LGBTQIA+. Yes, he actually invented that - no one else before ever had been- due to usually having 6 or 7 cats. It was enough already. Stop. No, just stop.

    what's wrong with that cat????????

    • @andybaldman

      It was owned by Edward Gorey.

    Never imagined Mr. Gorey as being so extremely effeminate. What a riot. 😅🙃

    • @ambrosiusbell
      @ambrosiusbell ปีที่แล้ว

      He was asexual. Not gay.

    • @andybaldman
      @andybaldman ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s debatable. See his Wikipedia.
